The phrase "because he lives" is famously associated with a well-loved Christian hymn written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The song was inspired by their personal life context and spiritual outlook during a difficult time in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when they were expecting their third child and facing world turmoil and personal struggles. The lyric "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow; because He lives, all fear is gone" reflects the hopeful message of the resurrection of Jesus Christ that gives believers confidence to face an uncertain world. The song was originally written for their family as a source of encouragement, especially during the birth of their son Benjamin, and became widely popular in church congregations and gospel music.
